For us, gambling is a form of entertainment, not a source of income. This page explains who can play at 1King. It also explains how to request a limit or self-exclusion.
Age Limit
You must be at least 18 to open an account at 1King. We don't make exceptions to this rule. If we have doubts, we may ask for age verification documents. We may temporarily freeze your account until we receive them.
Keeping minors away from gambling sites is a parent's responsibility too. That's why we recommend independent filtering tools to families. betblocker.org is free. gamban.com offers a free trial. Neither tool belongs to 1King; both are third-party services.
When we verify your age, we may ask for supporting documents. This is usually a colour copy of your passport or ID card. We may also ask you to confirm your phone number. These steps help protect both you and your account.
How We Spot Risky Behaviour
Betting is a harmless pastime for most players. For some people, though, gambling can turn into a serious problem. Our team takes this risk seriously. We don't knowingly keep a business relationship with players who show signs of gambling addiction.
We use an internal monitoring approach to catch early warning signs. We look out for accounts with repeated losses. We also note players who may face financial or mental health difficulties. A tense or abusive tone toward our Support Team is a signal too. When we notice this, we reach out to you. We discuss the situation together. We then explain the available protection options.
How Limits and Self-Exclusion Work
At 1King, limit and exclusion tools aren't a single toggle in your account panel. We handle these requests through our Support Team. We're writing this openly so you know exactly what to expect. You can agree on the right limit type together with our Support Team. Depending on your needs, you can choose a timed break or a permanent exclusion.
You can reach our Support Team by email or live chat. Once you send your request, we restrict your account for the period you choose. During that time you won't receive any marketing or promotional messages. Our partners won't contact you either.
Once self-exclusion starts, you can't open a new account. You can't bet or gamble on your existing account. You also can't make deposits. We don't lift the restriction before the period ends.
Test Yourself
Compulsive gambling is a real problem. We never take it lightly. If you want an honest look at your relationship with gambling, you can take a self-assessment test. Gamblers Anonymous offers a "20 questions" test at gamblersanonymous.org. This is an independent resource, not part of 1King. The site also lists face-to-face and online support meetings worldwide.
Tips for Keeping Your Habit Under Control
These simple steps can help keep gambling fun.
1. Never borrow money to gamble.
2. Set a loss budget before you start playing.
3. Stick to the budget you set.
4. Remember, this is only a game.
5. Take frequent breaks and make time for other activities.
6. Don't play when you feel low or stressed.
Play Is Entertainment
We recommend that you don't treat gambling as a source of income. Don't try to chase a loss in your next session. Betting should only be a way to spend your free time. This applies to our welcome bonus and every other promotion too.
